Leonys Martin has been dealing with a bacterial infection that affected multiple organs and was life threatening as of a few days ago, Indians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti said Monday.

Yikes. Martin is in recovery now and his outlook is positive, but Antonetti said the outfielder's "progress will be measured in weeks, not days." He was acquired by the Indians from the Tigers at the trade deadline but played just six games with his new club before being placed on the disabled list. Greg Allen and Rajai Davis will handle center field while Martin is out.

Tyler Naquin underwent surgery on Thursday to stabilize a stress reaction in his right hip.

Naquin is expected to be ready to resume baseball activities in 6-10 weeks, so while it's not officially a season-ending injury at this point, his return looks very unlikely. The Indians will also be without Lonnie Chisenhall (calf) until September.

Indians placed 1B/DH Edwin Encarnacion on the 10-day disabled list with a right hand contusion.

That the Indians are saying he's going on the DL with a bruised hand would seem to be good news, as he had an MRI on his left biceps Saturday and it would appear that exam didn't show anything significant. The club should have more on Encarnacion's status later Sunday.

RotoGrinders.com Daily Slant: Look for Yonder Alonso to continue to bat out of the cleanup spot in Encarnacion's absence, making him a nice DFS value for the forseeable future hitting behind the likes of Lindor and Ramirez. Also look for Brandon Guyer and Yandy Diaz to see more time in the lineup as a result of Encarnacion's injury.

Indians placed RHP Trevor Bauer on the 10-day disabled list with a small stress fracture in his right fibula.

Indians manager Terry Francona said there's no timetable yet on when Bauer might be able to return because the team is still gathering information about the injury. Bauer suffered the small lower-leg fracture when he was struck by a line drive in his last start Saturday against the White Sox. It's a tough blow, as the 27-year-old right-hander has broken out to the tune of a 2.22 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 214/56 K/BB ratio in 166 innings (25 starts) this season. Adam Plutko will fill his rotation spot.

Cody Anderson (elbow) has expanded his throwing progression out to over 100 feet.

Anderson had Tommy John surgery back in March of last year but has had numerous starts and stops on his rehab. It appears that he's starting to progress again but he wouldn't seem to be a very good bet to make it back this season.

Danny Salazar has been ruled out for the season after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder Monday.

The surgery was exploratory in nature, so the fact that he "only" needed an arthroscopic operation and not something more invasive would seem to qualify as good news. However, Salazar will be shut down for 12-16 weeks, which means he won't throw again until late September at the earliest. The Indians might send him to the instructional league and/or winter ball in order to start rebuilding his stamina, although they haven't revealed any such plans at this point.
